Whereas, on May 24, President Obama nominated 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be a supreme Court justice, citing her empathy and life experiences; and

Whereas, she denies the applicability of the individual right to bear arms protected by the 2nd Amendment to the citizens of the several states; and

Whereas, she favors statehood for Puerto Rico, which would increase the danger of America ceasing to be an exclusively English language country; and

Whereas, she supports giving voting rights to convicted murderers who are still serving time in prison; and

Whereas, she is comprehensively opposed to the death penalty for convicted first degree murderers; and

Whereas, she has been a member of the National Council of La Raza, many of the leaders of which favor amnesty for illegal aliens and the return of the southwest United States to Mexico; and

Whereas, she favors racial and ethnic quotas in education and employment; and

Therefore, the Constitution Party National Committee urges the US Senate to reject confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor to be a justice of the supreme Court of these United States.
